Yelitza Garcia

Yelitza Garcia, #coachYeli, began dancing at the age of 4 in her native Venezuela, when she started taking jazz and tap lessons. At the age of 6 she took for the first time an aerobics class and seven years later, when she was 13, she gave her first fitness class.

Since then, she has taught aerobic classes, cardio dance, step, bootcamp and body design classes, as well as Latin dance, tap dance and flamenco classes. She moved to Montreal in 2009 and in a short time she managed to build a name for herself with several dance schools and fitness centers in Montreal, like the Sports Centre of the UQAM, the San Tropez Latin Dance School and the Sports Centre of the University of Montreal, among others.

She became a Master Trainer in 2016, which allows her to certify other fitness instructors to teach new workouts. Currently she’s workout alongside Sh1ft Fitness and Michele Park from The Choreography Club.

In 2015 opened her own Fitness Center called Mambo Fit Studio and she has now expanded her offer to not only individuals but also to corporations, where she aims to help to boost the productivity of employees through healthy habits and improved fitness levels.
